Complex Care

Specialist care, at home.

For people with complex or high-dependency needs, staying in your own home is not just possible - with the right team, it is often the best outcome. We have invested seriously in building that team

Complex Care

What is complex care?

Complex care is specialist support for people whose needs go beyond what standard home care can safely cover. It is designed for people living with long-term health conditions, neurological conditions, acquired injuries or progressive illnesses — where clinical knowledge, specialist equipment and careful coordination are part of the picture every single day.

It is not the same as residential nursing care. It is care delivered at home, by trained carers working under proper clinical oversight, with a support plan built around the person's specific needs, routines and goals.

Complex care is sometimes called continuing care or high-dependency home care. Whatever you call it, the principle is the same: people with significant health needs deserve to remain at home if that is where they want to be.

If you are unsure whether a situation counts as complex care, get in touch and we will help you work it out.

Complex Care

Who is complex care for?

Complex care is right for people whose needs require more than a standard care package. This typically includes people living with:

  • Acquired brain injury (ABI)
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Motor neurone disease (MND)
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Stroke with ongoing complex needs
  • Advanced Parkinson's disease
  • Neurological conditions requiring clinical intervention at home
  • Conditions requiring specialist equipment such as PEG feeding, catheter care or tracheostomy support
  • End-of-life care with complex symptom management

This list is not exhaustive. If someone's needs require specialist training, clinical oversight or careful coordination with other health professionals, it is likely to fall under complex care. The right starting point is a conversation with us.

How we approach complex care.

Complex care is our strategic growth area, and we have built our capacity carefully. That means investing in the right training and clinical competencies, working closely with professionals who refer into complex packages, and never taking on a placement we are not genuinely equipped to support.

Every complex care package starts with a thorough assessment. We involve the person, their family and the clinical professionals already in the picture. We build a detailed support plan, identify the right carers and ensure they have the training and supervision they need before care begins.

We stay closely involved throughout. Our team monitors each package, communicates regularly with families and professionals, and responds promptly when needs change. Complex care requires the same continuity and consistency we bring to every package we deliver — and we take that seriously.

We also work with local authority and NHS commissioners. If funding through Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is a route that might be available, we can help navigate that process.

TESTIMONIALS

What people say about us...

I couldn't have asked for better end-of-life care for my mum over the last three months. The team showed great kindness and professionalism and it was a pleasure having them come into my home.

Ruth S

Daughter of Client

Blossom Healthcare were excellent in the care they gave my father. Very polite and nothing was a problem for them to do. Office staff were always at the end of the telephone so you could discuss any matters ad gave advice when needed.

Paul K

Son of Client

Staff was respectful, compassionate, efficient, friendly, considerate and helpful at all times. The office was always at the other end of telephone to help and assist with any queries. I would certainly recommend if the need arise.

The important questions

How quickly can complex care be arranged?

It depends on the complexity of the package and the individual's needs. We aim to move quickly — particularly where someone is being discharged from hospital and needs care in place promptly. We will always be honest about timescales and will work as efficiently as we can without compromising on the planning that safe complex care requires.

Can complex care really be delivered at home?

Yes, and for many people it is the better option. Home-based complex care typically offers one-to-one attention, familiar surroundings, unrestricted family access and lower risk of infection compared to a residential setting. It is also often comparable in cost to nursing home care. Many families are not aware this is a genuine option until they explore it.

How is complex care funded?

Some people fund complex care privately. Others may be eligible for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding from the NHS, which is available to those whose primary care need is health-related rather than social.
